About the author
Born in Ludlow, Shropshire, on August 7, 1855, Stanley John Weyman studied at Shrewsbury School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he took a degree in modern history. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1881, but law was not where he made his name.
Weyman became famous in the 1890s for historical adventure novels, especially stories set in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century France. His best-known books include The House of the Wolf, A Gentleman of France, and Under the Red Robe. His fiction was admired in its day for combining romance, intrigue, and fast-moving action with a convincing historical backdrop.
Though he is less widely read now than he was at the height of his fame, Weyman remains an important popularizer of the historical romance. He died on April 10, 1928.
